The President of the USA should be charged and tried.

Thanks, Vonnegut. 💜

Alberta’s grievances with Ottawa are mostly manufactured, always exaggerated and, often, completely illusory. Now it's time for the people who spent the last decade amplifying and weaponizing them to put out the fire they helped create. #cdnpoli #abpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/05/26/o...

The tech bros gave us crypto currency that isn’t currency, artificial intelligence that isn’t intelligence, and prediction markets that are inside-trader scams. On the other hand, they have given us gigantic data centers that employ no one and destroy communities. So there’s that.

Country Joe made amazing music. The song he is most famous for is awesome but the rest of the studio album is absolute music. Parkinson’s is a crappy disease. It robs people of life long before it kills them. So long as, Joe. I already miss you.

So, so many reasons bad. Add economics to list. 👇 Costs of Total Abortion Bans ajph.aphapublications.org/doi/10.2105/... "Abortion bans are economically burdensome. Our findings provide compelling evidence that restoring and protecting abortion access would improve economic outcomes."

A report from the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives is objecting to the Alberta government’s claim that its proposed dual practice health system is emulating the public-private schemes of other parts of the world, including Australia and Western Europe.

I want to laugh at it but sadly it’s true.

While scientists were here on Heard Island, they finished testing the world’s STRONGEST suction cup. Unbelievable. We still don’t know how they pulled it off.

Let's ask the question: How many times do the following people show up being named in the Epstein Files: President Joe Biden: 0 President Barack Obama: 0 MN Governor Tim Walz: 0 President Donald Trump: 4,500 Does any Republican not see the problem?

Klein ..the Klein government cut public health care spending by 21%. These cuts were so large that Alberta's total public and private health costs did not surpass its 1993 peak until 2001, and our province's public spending on hospitals had yet to reach.. www.parklandinstitute.ca/albertas_pub...

NATO & Denmark: We will give you the exact same security arrangements you have had for the past 40 years in Greenland. Trump: Total surrender! Art of the deal!

We are now learning of even more patients who have died waiting for care. Yet the UCP still refuses to take responsibility or acknowledge the crisis. Albertans deserve better. Our lives depend on it. /1

Carney isn't just failing Canada, he's failing the world. If we don't stand for democracy and a rules-based international order, why would any other country come to Canada's defence when we need it?

📢 The Certainty Illusion paperback drops TODAY! It is sad that the themes in this book more relevant today than when first published! And, as the history of January 6th gets more twisted, fitting that this is the release date. See: www.penguinrandomhouse.ca/books/713451...

You know what doesn’t cause wars? Women and renewable energy.

I can't possibly be the only person who sees this.

NDP MLA David Shepherd held very little back as the UCP effectively fired the Auditor General in committee today… Including highlighting that for a government under suspicion of covering up massive scandals, this only makes things look worse. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

@cbcnn.bsky.social please, for the love of all things good—please stop having Rick Bell on P&P. Aside from being a blatant conservative lickspittle, his inability to be concise is painful. Painful! This Albertan begs you to find a replacement. Please.
